I wrote a program to give me the value of the Mega Doge Coin
import time
import urllib2
from datetime import datetime
def get_HTML():
response = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.dogepay.com')
html = response.read()
return html
def get_Value(rawHTML):
index = rawHTML.find(“CCFF00”)
while(rawHTML[index] != “$”):
index = index + 1
index = index + 1
value = “”
while(rawHTML[index].isdigit() or rawHTML[index] == ‘.’):
value = value + rawHML[index]
index = index + 1
return float(value)
def get_DateTime():
now = datetime.now()
return '%s/%s/%s %s:%s:%s' % (now.month, now.day, now.year, now.hour,
now.minute, now.second)
def print_Output(DogeCoinValue, TimeDate):
print timeDate + “ $“ + str(dogeCoinValue)
while(True):
rawHTML = get_HTML()
dogeCoinValue = get_Value(rawHTML)
timeDate = get_DateTime()
print_Output(dogeCoinValue, timeDate)
time.sleep(5)
But when I go to run it I get
File "MegaDogeCoinTicker.py", line 11
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file MegaDogeCoinTicker.py on line
11, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html
for details
What do I need to do to fix it? It worked when I was running it on my pi but I can't seem to get it to run on my laptop. My laptop is running Python 2.7.5
In addition to not using non-ascii quotation marks, you should add to the top line of your code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
details
You should use standard ASCII quotes:
index = rawHTML.find("CCFF00")
rather than:
index = rawHTML.find(“CCFF00”)
